Thanks Patrick,

Now I have:
[root andrew andrew]# rpm -q pilot-link
pilot-link-0.12.3-2mdv2008.1

and when I run, as instructed:
[root andrew andrew]# pilot-dlpsh -i -p usb:

   Listening for incoming connection on usb:..

Then I hit hotsync button, nothing happens until I type Ctrl C, and
cancel in the Palm, then I get back to a command prompt.

While still connected by the cable I get this>>>

andrew andrew ~]$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 014: ID 0830:0061 Palm, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0a5c:2021 Broadcom Corp.
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:c03d Logitech, Inc.
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 04b8:0005

So it is being detected by the system, OK.

What next, please?
